API Details

Official Gousto API (recipe listing):

https://production-api.gousto.co.uk/cmsreadbroker/v1/recipes?limit=50&offset=0

  • Returns metadata: title, rating, prep_time, url

  • Paginate with offset parameter (NOT skip — that's broken!)

  • ~9,300 recipes total

Official Gousto API (single recipe):

https://production-api.gousto.co.uk/cmsreadbroker/v1/recipe/{slug}

  • Full recipe with ingredients, cooking steps, nutritional info

  • HTML in steps is stripped to plain text by the script

Cache Format

data/recipes.json — array of objects:

{
  "title": "Chicken Tikka Masala",
  "slug": "chicken-tikka-masala",
  "rating": 4.8,
  "rating_count": 12543,
  "prep_time": 35,
  "uid": "blt123..."
}

Notes

  • Cache is gitignored — run update-cache.sh after cloning

  • Search is instant (local jq filter)

  • Recipe fetch requires network (vfjr.dev proxy)
